Emergency situations
7-4
Before Jump Starting
This vehicle does not have a regular 12V
battery that needs periodic replacement.
It is lithium ion polymer type integrated
into the HEV high voltage battery. The
vehicle has a 12V battery protection
system that cuts 12V battery from vehicle
draw to prevent full discharge.
Using the 12V battery reset switch
ODN8HQ019028
1. Press the 12V Battery Reset switch to
reconnect the 12V battery.
2. Start the vehicle within 15 seconds of
pressing the 12V Battery Reset switch.
3. After starting the vehicle
( indicator on), operate the vehicle
safely outdoors in ready mode
stopped and/or drive it for 30 minutes
total to charge the 12V battery fully. If you do not start the vehicle
immediately after pressing the 12V
Battery Reset switch, the power of 12V
battery is automatically disconnected
after few seconds to save the 12V battery
from additional discharge. If the 12V
battery is disconnected prior to starting
the vehicle, press the 12V Battery Reset
switch again and then immediately start
the vehicle as explained.
Repeated use of the 12V Battery Reset
switch without a sufficient engine
ON cycle (30 Min+) may cause over
discharge of the 12V battery, which will
prevent the vehicle from starting. If the
12V battery is over discharged to a point
that the reset does not work, try to jump-
start the vehicle.
Information
After starting the vehicle
( indicator on), the 12V battery is being
charged whether the engine is running or
not. Although there is no engine sound, it
is unnecessary to depress the accelerator
pedal.
The following items may need to be reset
after the battery has been discharged or
the battery has been disconnected.
See chapter 4 and 5 for:
• Power Windows
• Trip Computer
• Climate Control System
• Clock
• Audio System
• Sunroof

WASHER FLUID
Checking the Washer Fluid Level
ODN8H089006
Check the fluid level in the washer fluid
reservoir and add fluid if necessary. Plain
water may be used if washer fluid is not
available. However, use washer solvent
with antifreeze characteristics in cold
climates to prevent freezing.
WARNING
To prevent serious injury or death, take
the following safety precautions when
using washer fluid:
• Do not use engine coolant or
antifreeze in the washer fluid
reservoir. Engine coolant can
severely obscure visibility when
sprayed on the windshield and
may cause loss of vehicle control
resulting in an accident or damage to
paint and body trim.
• Do not allow sparks or flame to
contact the washer fluid or the
washer fluid reservoir. Washer fluid
may contain alcohol and can be
flammable.
• Do not drink washer fluid and avoid
contact with skin. Washer fluid is
harmful to humans and animals.
• Keep washer fluid away from
children and animals.
WARNING
Do not allow brake fluid to come in
contact with your eyes. If brake fluid
comes in contact with your eyes, flush
your eyes with clean water for at least
15 minutes and get immediate medical
attention.
NOTICE
• Do not allow brake fluid to contact
the vehicle’s body paint, as paint
damage will result.
• Brake fluid, which has been exposed
to open air for an extended time
should NEVER be used as its quality
cannot be guaranteed. It should be
disposed of properly.
• Do not use the wrong kind of brake
fluid. A few drops of mineral based
oil, such as engine oil, in your brake
system can damage brake system
parts.
Information
Use only the specified brake fluid (refer
to “Recommended Lubricants and
Capacities” section in chapter 2).

Filter Inspection
The cabin air filter should be replaced
according to the Maintenance Schedule.
If the vehicle is operated in severely air-
polluted cities or on dusty rough roads
for a long period, it should be inspected
more frequently and replaced sooner.
Replace the cabin air filter by following
the procedure below and be careful to
avoid damaging other components.
Filter Replacement
ODN8089010
1. Remove the support rod (1).
ODN8089011
2. Push in both sides of the glove box as
shown. This will ensure that the glove
box stopper pins will get released
from its holding location allowing the
glove box to hang.
ODN8089012
3. Remove the climate control air filter
case while pressing the lock on the
right side of the cover.
OIK077021
4. Replace the climate control air filter.
5. Reassemble in the reverse order of
disassembly.
NOTICE
Install a new climate control air filter
in the correct direction with the
arrow symbol (↓) facing downwards,
otherwise, it may be noisy and the
effectiveness of the filter may be
reduced.

WARNING
To reduce the risk of DEATH or
SERIOUS INJURY:
• Replace tires that are worn, show
uneven wear, or are damaged.
Worn tires can cause loss of
braking effectiveness, steering
control, and traction.
• Always replace tires with the
same size as each tire that was
originally supplied with this
vehicle. Using tires and wheels
other than the recommended
sizes could cause unusual
handling characteristics, poor
vehicle control, or negatively
affect your vehicle’s Anti-Lock
Brake System (ABS) resulting in a
serious accident.
• When replacing tires (or wheels),
it is recommended to replace
the two front or two rear tires (or
wheels) as a pair. Replacing just
one tire can seriously affect your
vehicle’s handling.
• Tires degrade over time, even
when they are not being used.
Regardless of the remaining
tread, HYUNDAI recommends
that tires be replaced after six (6)
years of normal service.
• Heat caused by hot climates or
frequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the aging process.
Failure to follow this warning
may cause sudden tire failure,
which could lead to a loss of
vehicle control resulting in an
accident. Compact spare tire replacement
(if equipped)
A compact spare tire has a shorter
tread life than a regular size tire.
Replace it when you can see the
tread wear indicator bars on the tire.
The replacement compact spare tire
should be the same size and design
tire as the one provided with your
new vehicle and should be mounted
on the same compact spare tire
wheel. The compact spare tire is
not designed to be mounted on a
regular size wheel, and the compact
spare tire wheel is not designed for
mounting a regular size tire.
WARNING
The original tire should be repaired
or replaced as soon as possible to
avoid failure of the spare and loss
of vehicle control resulting in an
accident.The compact spare tire
is for emergency use only. Do not
operate your vehicle over 50 mph
(80 km/h) when using the compact
spare tire.
